2024 Audi Q5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Audi Q5 gets a light equipment update rather than a redesign. The main change is broader standard driver assistance, led by adaptive cruise control with steering support, along with a standard heated steering wheel.
About the 2024 Audi Q5
2nd generation Q5 (2018-2024 U.S.), in its post-2021 update phase and final full model year before the next-generation redesign.
Audi positions the Q5 as its core premium compact SUV: a practical, upscale everyday vehicle with standard all-wheel drive, a polished cabin, and a balance of comfort, technology, and manageable size. Within the broader Q5 family, buyers can choose the regular SUV shape, the sleeker Sportback shape, or a plug-in hybrid version, but the underlying appeal stays the same: luxury-SUV usability without moving into a larger vehicle.
The 2024 lineup covers the practical Q5 SUV and sleeker Q5 Sportback, with standard AWD and gas or plug-in-hybrid power. The 40 TFSI has a 201-hp turbo engine, while the 362-hp 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid adds short-distance electric driving. Higher trims bring features such as a 12.3-inch digital driver display, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, a surround-view camera, and a head-up display.
What changed, by category
Safety
Adaptive cruise control with steering support becomes standard across the lineup, and lane-keeping assistance is fitted more broadly as standard equipment.
Tech
A heated steering wheel becomes standard across the lineup. The 45 models also gain standard sport seats.
